About

Hello there, my name is Mark Husson, and I run this website called /mark.

Back in the day when carbs were known only as carbohydrates and Viagra was only available in pharmacy's, I decided to start my own website (later, it would be referred to as a "blog"). The date was April 8th, 2001. The kid who lived down the hall from me in the residents halls of the University of Colorado at Boulder had his own website. I really liked the idea and figured I needed my own website too. In order to keep all of my friends that went to school in Gunnison up to date on my life, I would keep a little sub-domain'd website updated with all kinds of things that only 4 people care about. Today, the site has grown to a full blown sub-domain'd website with all kinds of things that only 6 people care about. We have made tremendous progress. So thanks for stopping by. The rest of this page contains information about myself, as well as the site.
